Although he didn't say it aloud, he was incredibly envious of Qin Beiming.
If one day, when Ling Mo encounters a problem, she would subconsciously take a step behind him, he would be laughing in his dreams.
After getting into the car, Ling Mo would occasionally glance at Zhan Hanjue beside him.
Even now, she still finds it hard to believe all of this.
Zhan Hanjue stared intently at her face, which was exactly like his own, and the more he looked, the happier he became.
When their eyes met, Ling Mo awkwardly moved to the side.
Zhan Hanjue didn't expose her, but instead started talking, easing her awkwardness in time:
"By the way, have you contacted your maternal grandmother? Years ago, Aying told me that she had a mother at home, but she didn't mention exactly where her hometown was. After she passed away, I wanted to fulfill my filial duty to her, but I didn't know where to find my mother-in-law."
Ling Mo nodded and said slowly:
“During the years I lived in the countryside, I relied entirely on my maternal grandmother for care. However, in the last two years, her health has deteriorated significantly. My uncle is not very kind to her. I once thought about taking her to live elsewhere, but she refuses to go anywhere. She still cannot accept the fact that my mother has passed away and keeps saying that she will wait for her to come home.”
"Take me to see her in a while, okay?"
"good."
Ling Mo responded softly, still somewhat dazed, but his condition had clearly improved.
After a long while, perhaps noticing the diamond ring on Ling Mo's ring finger, Zhan Hanjue finally couldn't help but speak:
"Girl, are you serious? Marriage is not a game; you must be very careful. You're still young; there's no rush to choose."
"..."
Qin Beiming's lips twitched wildly, feeling utterly speechless.
Zhan Hanjue is really too unethical.
When I called him "Dad," he responded happily. How come he turned his back on me like that?
Ling Mo was also deeply puzzled by this.
Qin Beiming behaved himself very well that night, so why did Zhan Hanjue always find fault with him?
After a moment's hesitation, she finally nodded and said with particular seriousness:
"I'm serious."
Zhan Hanjue asked unwillingly:
"Isn't this too hasty?"
Qin Beiming sat upright, so nervous that he almost held his breath.
At this moment, he was genuinely worried that Ling Mo, under Zhan Hanjue's brainwashing, might suddenly back out of the engagement.
Fortunately, Ling Mo was very considerate of Qin Beiming's feelings and said firmly:
"This is a decision I made after careful consideration. Third Master is doing well."
Zhan Hanjue thought to himself, "What man doesn't make love?"
He was well aware of these tactics.
However, seeing Ling Mo's resolute attitude, he couldn't say anything directly, and could only offer a subtle hint:
"Right now, your studies should be your priority. Also, you must take good care of yourself."
"Ordinary people can't hurt me."
Ling Mo didn't understand what Zhan Hanjue meant by "protection," but confidently replied...
Zhan Hanjue still felt uneasy and asked a special question:
"Where do you plan to stay after that?"
No. 3, Taoli Street.
"You live alone?"
Zhan Hanjue appeared particularly vigilant, fearing that she might suddenly blurt out, "I live with Qin Beiming."
"Um."
Ling Mo nodded.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Hanjue breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion.
However, he then solemnly added:
“Girl, move back home. I’m so sorry for being absent for seventeen years. I will do everything I can to make up for what I’ve missed.”
"Home?"
Ling Mo felt that this word was very unfamiliar.
After being fostered in the countryside by Ling Yunlong, she lost the concept of "home".
Nowadays, when Zhan Hanjue mentions "home" again, she feels somewhat numb.
But when she met Zhan Hanjue's loving gaze, she could no longer utter a word of refusal, and only said softly:
Give me some time.
"good."
Zhan Hanjue noticed Ling Mo's unusually conservative attitude towards relationships and knew that she must have suffered a lot in love over the years...
Qin Beiming, sitting in the passenger seat, was still quite uneasy.
Frequently asking questions in WeChat groups:
What should I do if my father-in-law doesn't like me?
What kind of son-in-law do elders generally prefer?
...
Seeing Qin Beiming's increasingly anxious state, Lu Jinjiu asked with particular puzzlement:
My grandfather said Uncle Zhan is a righteous and devoted man, so he should be easy to get along with.
He probably saw me as a playboy who preys on young girls.
Qin Beiming was filled with regret.
If he had known that Zhan Hanjue was Ling Mo's biological father, he shouldn't have argued with Zhan Hanjue.
She shouldn't have kissed Ling Mo so openly in front of Zhan Hanjue.
"I heard that Uncle Zhan is still single and has no plans to remarry. I suppose a man who hasn't had sex in over ten years, even if he has some kind of problem, should still be itching to see a woman. Third Brother, why don't you take Uncle Zhan with you and find him a few women to play with?" Lu Jinjiu suggested.
Qin Beiming: "..."
Huo Yunting: [Third Brother, you really need to behave yourself these days. If I had a daughter, I couldn't stand any man touching her inappropriately. Mr. Zhan probably can't bear to part with his daughter, not because he's prejudiced against you.]
Gu Tingbai: [Don't even mention Mr. Zhan, even I felt it was inappropriate after watching the video Ling Tian played. Napoleon said some things require mutual consent, but the problem is that Sister Mo is still young and her mind isn't mature yet. Treating her like this is tantamount to bullying her.]
